HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SEUSS!!!!!!!!

This is one of my favorite days of the school year...Read Across America celebrated on Dr. Seuss's birthday! Not only do we focus on timeless classics, but we excitedly celebrate literature (getting to wear my Cat in the Hat t-shirt is pretty awesome, too!). For some background and ideas for this "holiday", check out Read Across America Day. For online links to LOTS of Seuss ideas and online games, check out Dr. Seuss Games. Your child will adore Seussville! This site is whimsical and will put a smile on your face! Visit old friends and discover new ones! While checking out another possibly good link, I discovered that there are several videos on YouTube of people reading Dr. Seuss stories (such as Dr. Seuss's ABC)! When using YouTube, PLEASE accompany your child as it is EASY to find videos that are NOT child-friendly. If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, there is an app where you can download Dr. Seuss books. However, I do no think that this is a free app. Let us know what you do to celebrate this magnificent author on this very special day!
